Melancholia
Studies aimed at understanding the mystery of the melancholic personality began in the Homeric epics and continued in the Hippocratic literature.
It reached its peak in the tragedies of Sophocles. Aristotle said that extraordinary personalities, those who live with an original morality and passionate excitement, are generally melancholic. As in the examples of Democritus, Heraclitus, Empedocles... Albrecht Dürer, Hölderlin, Walter Benjamin, etc. They have always exuded the aura of this kind of melacholic life. In the melancholic life, the painful misery of ordinary existence can often be overcome and a brand new self, which may have tragic but honorable aesthetic features, is encountered.
